Am I unusual in that I have absolutely no interest in sport I can’t think of anything more boring than watching sport I genuinely can’t see what the attraction is .

I will avoid drinking in a pub if there is sport on a tv When I here some football commentators screaming when a goal is scored it infuriates me

I change channel if anything to do with sport comes on

I wonder if it goes back to my school days I hated Pe and the teachers did nothing to encourage those not sporty In fact unless you were good at sport then you were belittled and humiliated at not being sporty

Communal changing rooms did nothing for kids who were body conscious

Having said that I do like wild swimming I tend to go on my own or occasionally with a couple of friends

Nope, no interest in watching sports. There are a few sports I’m happy to play but watching them is like watching paint drying.

Yeah. I just don’t get sport. I’ll join in if people are cheering a particular team, but it’s feigned interest.

People say it makes me ‘gay’ because I don’t like sport. Which is bo***cks.

I’m gay because I like sucking other men.

Same here, no interest at all. Only thing i enjoy is the Olympics and Paralympics. Thinks it's because I was born with a deformed right foot so was often in and out of hospital all through school, in a plaster cast or calipers or recovering from an operation, so never did pe or games so just never got into anything.

Opposite experience to the OP.

I was an average student at best, I hated the classroom environment, and

I was a quiet unremarkable kid,until, I had a ball at my feet a racquet, club, bat in hand, then I excelled.

It gave me confidence, status and hours of enjoyment, still does at nearly 60.🙂

I was, and still am, an awful athlete. I do however love watching all sport.

The stupid new obsession I have is with following cycling. No one ever taught me to ride a bike as a kid, but I now spend hours a week watching men ride up and down mountains on TV

I’m glad there’s different opinions in sports: personally I love a few and added bonus is being around straight football team where they can see I’m just like them (though I did slightly let myself down by saying I’d happily shag one of them)!😜

I love nearly all sports and find it very unusual that someone has no interest in them at all. For me competition generates excitement and to watch the drama unfold is very rewarding.

One thing I picked up on years ago was the people who purported to dislike all sport, or were indifferent to them had one exception and that was Formula 1. Not a sport that does anything for me but each to their own.

It’s perfectly normal to have zero interest in sport. Like you, it bores me completely, and I avoid it at all costs. I refused point-blank to take part in any sport at school because it held zero appeal. A few of us were branded “sports rebels” back then, but we all went on to excel academically and professionally as adults. Hating sport didn’t hold us back one bit.

Loved and watched football as a kid, so it's in my blood - but now I only get drawn into watching the big tournaments.

Beautiful game, boring industry. Constant obsessive media coverage, tribal fans, managers and players who have about three lines of dialogue and repeat them ad nauseam. I can switch off, I realise, and do.

I'm quite selective about sport. Discovered rugby when I went to a new school and was hooked. Played regularly for 30 years until my knees gave out. Still watch it on TV and occasionally go and watch a live match. In recent years got interested in Rugby League as well as Union. Only thing wrong with league is over enthusiastic commentators and the noise crowds with their hooters and drum.

No real interest in football. Quite enjoy Gaelic football. Also hockey. Other than that I have little interest.

It’s that awful crowd noise, and the poxy MOTD theme tune that make me immediately switch to another channel.

And fat old men walking around in football strips thinking they still look fit, crying because their team just lost a game… but actually I find that funny.

Sport for me is about a family connection. The first football match I was taken to, I was with my grandad, my dad and my brother. That shared heritage is wonderful and I love to see that kind of thing being passed down through the generations.

I played semi-pro cricket for 30 years and the friends that I have made over the years have been amongst the best people I have met, the camaraderie is what keeps us together. I may not see the group for several months but when we meet up that bond we share is unbreakable.

Sport has given me so much and I give back to cricket by coaching the under 15’s at my old club, that is so rewarding.

I've never been interested in sport, as a kid I hated 'games' at school.

I did play badminton in my late teens as I loved the communal showers in the leisure centre, not the game.

I've worked with people who've spent all day talking football, I've met people both professionally and in leisure situations who's opening conversation has gone along the lines of "what did you think about United's performance on Saturday?" If in doubt talk football because everyone must love football.

There seems to be some sort of belief that if you are gay then you must hate sport. Not necessarily true. Then again a lot of totally straight people hate all sports. I loved playing rugby and my longest term FWB was a rugby teammate.

I do understand people getting fed-up with people who's only conversation seems to be around sport. Football in particular. Fine talk about it amongst fellow enthusiasts but don't try and impose it on others.

Have zero time for sport. Never enjoyed it at school, despite being reasonably capable. Just couldn’t find any interest in it. All seemed pointless.

But like you, i enjoy watching those sports that require tight fitting clothing… gymnastics, beach volleyball, swimming.. and, as I’m bi, both sexes. Though, clearly nothing to do with the sport itself.

"Teaches you how to work as a team!" Was the eternal justification given by the PE "teachers".

Did it fuck! It just allowed the members of the sports teams to rip the piss out of anyone else that dared to try.

I did the last year of o levels where pe wasn't a ln actual taught subject. Then the brought in GCSEs with PE as a real subject and the pe teachers were shitting there pants!!

I hear what you are saying. I loved playing sports but was never that keen on watching. For about 10 years after having to give up playing rugby [age, creaking bones] I would not watch it at all. Then gradually started watching again both live and on TV and enjpying it.

Rather rude and dismissive. Guess you think we should spend all our time feeling glum about the cost of living, poverty, illness, wars etc. I don't watch things like BGT, Ant 'n Dec, I'm a celebrity etc but other do and obviously enjoy it. So why not enjoy sport as well if you are so inclined.

I have very mixed feelings around sport. I was never any good, mainly down to poor binocular vision due to ambliopia (lazy eye), so I was always last picked as I'd trip over a ball or throw/kick/bat it the wrong direction.

Never liked watching football, but could tolerate watching rugby, tennis, snooker or cricket.

Music is my thing, listening and playing. But I can absolutely appreciate the pleasure and joy that sport, in all its forms, brings others.

Head of PE at my last school used to brag that he had been a professional football player. Long before the internet so difficult to check him out but we did somehow manage it. He had briefly been on the payroll for some fairly minor club.

My personal idea of hell is a so called "sports bar" jammed with chavs in trainers and silly t-shirts drinking plastic beer from plastic glasses watching endless sport.

Even worse if they have some overdressed girlfriend in tow screeching down her mobile to her mates about what she's just bought in Primark

Surely a real sports enthusiast should be out in the cold and wet actually playing a sport, or at least freezing their balls off on some windswept terrace watching their local team ?

Personally I would rather go without a drink...or spend the

time in a gay sauna or club having indiscriminate sex all afternoon with real men.

Just saying.......
